Guns, Posts, and Steel feat. Patrick Wyman

It's the free one! Friend of the show Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman) joins the gang to talk about ancient state formation… and also a strange book written by a venture capitalist about how this entity called The Network (him and his friends) will replace God and the State as the Leviathan of 21st century society. It’s both History and Hegel with a head injury, folks!
